IniA 
SNOW KING Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
Regal in bearing with broadly flaring great white blossoms lit 
with gold at the throat. Heavy of substance, bold and strong 
in growing habit. 3 feet tall. A wonderful and thoroughly hardy 
white from the Sasses. 
SNOQUALMIE (Brehm, 1938) Each 50c 
M. 36 inches. One of the very best cream iris. It reminds one 
of thick Jersey cream, and like this luscious cream, which 
seems to have so much body, this iris is heavily substanced. 
SNOW VELVET (H. Sass, 1942) Each $1.00 
A white flower of very heavy substance, lit with gold about 
the center. The large flowers stay in good condition on the 
hottest days. Height 40 inches. H. M., A. I. S. 1942. 
SOLE MIO (Van T., 1938) Each $1.00 
M. 38 inches. Received the silver medal in Rome, 1938. This 
is one of the last iris imported from Holland before the inva- 
sion. Tall and well branched, the flowers are of clear deep yel- 
low. Does not fade. 
SOLID MAHOGANY (J. Sass, 1944) Each $2.00 
M. 38 inches. Mahogany red, the smoothest deep flowered grand 
new red. Large flowers of good substance; one of the darkest 
reds. Finely formed, smoothly finished and heavily textured, 
fine branching. Top honors in the crimson class to this im- 
posing new iris. 
SONRISA (DeForest, 1942) Each $1.50 
Coppery pink with yellow undertone having a metallic finish. 
Very wide segments, rounded form with slightly flaring falls 
and unusually large flowers. Difficult to describe, but we regard 
it as next to Casa Morena in merit among all DeForest intro- 
ductions. H. M., A. I. S. 1945. 
SOUTHERN CROSS Each coc, 0 10% 706 
From New Zealand. S. fawn, shaded purple; F. auburn-red. 
An outstanding iris. 
SOUTHERN PACIFIC (Taylor, 1942) Each $1.50 
A new giant clear blue on the lavender side. It is free bloom- 
ing and one of the largest irises we have ever seen. A descend- 
ent of Sierra Blue, similar in habit. 
SOUTHERN SNOW (Beck, 1947) E. M. Each $5.00 
New white, highly recommended. Petals full and broad, very 
heavy in texture and pure white. 36 inches. 
SOUTHLAND Each 35c, 3 for 75c 
24 inches. Given an award of merit by the American Iris So- 
ciety in 1939. A deep golden yellow variety with large flowers 
of fine form and heavy substance on well branching stalks. 
SPANISH PEAKS (Loomis, 1947) M. Each $15.00 
Imagine a large, broad petaled, heavily substanced, exquisitely 
finished ALL white on tall stalks. White throat, white beard, 
white styles—nothing but white— of pleasing ruffled form. 
Sounds great. We haven’t seen it but it comes from Dr. Loomis! 
38 inches. 
SPARKLING BLUE (Grant, 1942) M. Each $1.00 
Flax-blue with frosty, sparkling overlay. Large, broad-petaled, 
semi-flaming and well substanced. 40 inches. 
SPINDRIFT (Loomis, 1944) Each $1.25 
Translucent, delicate sea shell or coral pink with fiery tanger- 
ine beard to accentuate the color. This iris achieved wide ac- 
claim when shown as a seedling under the number TQ-70. Well 
branched, with stiff willowy stem. 36 inches tall. 
SPOKANE Each 35c, 3 for 75c 
36 inches. Honorable mention, American Iris Society. Huge 
flowers and the most brilliant of the red-brown blends. The 
standards are pure fawn brown and the falls are Bordeaux red; 
they are straight hanging, which gives the most impressive gar- 
den effect. 
SPRING CHIMES Each 75¢ 
A large golden russet self, a shade lighter than Nightingale— 
a new and very attractive color. It is a rampant grower, hardy, 
and a free bloomer. The form is good and substance fair. The 
branching on the 38-inch stem is not short but is placed too 
high for show room purposes. A clump of Spring Chimes will 
attract much favorable comment. 
SPRING CLOUD (Jory, 1936) Each 35c, 3 for 75c 
40 inches. A very unusual and striking blue and white plicata, 
the standards of which are so heavily marked with blue that 
with the nearly white falls it looks like a bicolor. Large, tall 
and quite spectacular. Hardy and prolific. 
SPUN GOLD (Glutzbeck, 1940) Each 75c 
It has all of the desired qualities of size, good branching, tall 
stems and rich solid yellow color. Eagerly sought after because 
of its fine record; stock has remained scarce. Mie SA len at 
1939. A. M. 1942. Dykes Medal 1944. 
STAINED GLASS (Wilhelm, 1939) Each 50c 
M. 36 inches. View this iris with the sun shining through it. 
The rich glowing ruddy copper red tones remind one of a view 
through the stained glass of an old cathedral window. This is 
a solid copper iris with a reddish cast, but not a red iris. Rich. 
STARDOM (Hall, 1941) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
M. 34 inches. Rapturous salmon shading to apricot buff. A 
clump gives the effect of glowing salmon apricot. Bright orange 
beard, extremely vigorous. A heavy flowering and pleasing iris 
that is widely appreciated. 
STARLESS NIGHT (J. Sass, 1941) Each 50c 
M. 36 inches. H. M., A. I. S. 1943. Lustrous, deep, dark purple 
self, glowing with an unexpected reddish brilliance and having 
a bright gold beard. 
STELLA POLARIS (Smith, 1939) Each 50c 
M. 40 inches. H. M., A. I. S. 1939. Beautiful large blooms that 
have a flush of almost silvery blue when they first open, but 
then change to a pure white. Broad cupped standards are fitted 
with wide semi-flaring falls. 
SULTAN’S ROBE (Salbach, 1945) Each $3.00 
M. This iris is a great favorite on the Pacific coast. The stand- 
ards are between VanDyke red and deep old rose. The broad, 
heavy substance flaring falls are of the same color except there 
is a pronounced overlay of gold on the upper half and a bright 
dash of blue violet in the center of the falls. H. M., A. I. S. 1946. 
R. 89 1946. 36 inches. 
SUNNY RUFFLES (Waters, 1943) Each $1.00 
Ruffled clear lemon yellow chrome deeping to gold around the 
outer edges of each of the gracefully formed petals. Early mid- 
season. 36 inches. 
SUNSET BLAZE (Kleinsorge, 1948) Each $9.00 
A tall and huge golden flame-salmon blend, almost a red, but 
with so much of the gold influence in it that it is not a red iris. 
You have seen the sun look much like this just before it sinks 
over the horizon. Both standards and falls are extra large and 
the haft and beard are bright golden yellow. A most impressive 
flower, blooming very early on widely branched stalks reaching 
42 inches. 
SUNSET SERENADE (J. Sass, 1943) Each $1.25 
Introduced as the best of Sass’s Prairie Sunset seedlings to 
date. A soft golden tan or light apricot-buff, lighter in tone than 
the parent. When you consider that there have been thousands 
of seedlings grown from Prairie Sunset, and the originator 
himself selects this as the best one in the lot, it must be some 
iris. H. M., A. I. S. 1948. 
SUNSHINE (D. Hall, 1945) Each 60c 
A fine, deep, rich toned yellow of excellent form and substance. 
The flowers are carried on a strong well branched 35-inch stem. 
It is winter hardy and an extra free bloomer. 
SYLVIA MACDONALD (Aylett) Each $1.50 
M. 42 inches. Bringing a blaze of color from our good Austra- 
lian neighbor, is the flower of deep and brilliant orange. The 
flowers are larger, but of the same shape as Happy Days. 
TAJ MAHAL (Strut., 1921) Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
A handsome pure white of fine form, heavy substance and rug- 
ged constitution. 
TALLY HO (Hall, 1949) Each $12.50 
The general color of this flower is something new and pleasing. 
The upper part of the falls are close to the deep coloring seen 
in bright fuchsia colored orchids. The domed standards and 
lower part of the falls are lighter. It is a large well formed 
flower of heavy substance.
